What to know

  • Georgia's 45-17 blowout win over Arkansas featured unusually harsh postgame commentary from coach Kirby Smart about the Razorbacks' lack of physicality and abysmal rushing attack (17 yards on 20 carries).
  • Running back Nate Frazier and wide receiver Isiah Canion sustained minor injuries in the Arkansas game, but Smart expects both to be available for Saturday's home game vs. Oklahoma.
  • Smart expressed respect for Oklahoma coach Brent Venables and the Sooners' defense heading into the first-ever meeting between the programs in Athens.

“I know he's a defensive-minded guy. I know he's built on physical toughness and the way you play the game. (I've got) a lot of respect for Coach Venables.”
